Radioshack Employee here, taking questions about Pre Order/Buying Process

[bp3dots]

So I just called my RS and they said they would be opening up at 6am on the 4th. I asked if they would be making appointments...they said yes they would start making appointments later today. I asked if I could just make mine now and they were nice and said sure...they asked what time I would like to come in and I said 6am! Duh! He said how about 7? What? Which is fine, but the question is for you RS managers and employees would I be able to walk in earlier like 6:30 and them get me set up? I just can't imagine anyone in my area flooding the place, it's a smaller community.

Call and ask. They may have people with earlier appointments that they want to be able to spend time with.

What A Plan!?!?!?!
I think with that I might pass on the Evo.

Just want to share what i just heard from my store.

1. I confirmed my pre-order, looks like 3 of total 20, 21 pre-order, so, will be @ store 0600

2. no EVO 4G dock or mount during the release day

3. ZAGG invisibleshield offered, $14.99, screen-only i guess

4. 15% discount for accessories b4 10:00AM, 10% after

just one thing different from what you guys said, that $10 couple, i cannot use, since it states that it cant be combine with other discount/coupon. is that true?

You can't get an EVO on that plan.

You CAN NOT use the $10 off with any other offer. Take 15% off all the stuff you will buy when you get the phone, if it is greater than $10 use the percent if not use the 10 dollars. Simple.. Or two separate transactions, or come back later, or ....

Sorry to ask some question about that $10 coupon again, but just want to make best use of either $10 or 15%. Since i dont believe i will spend more than $50 for accessories during the release day in the store, i believe $10 will be more valuable to me. My question is, since i should spend more than $40 in order to use $10 coupon, if that $40 has to be the expense on accessories only or phone purchase expense can be included. Thank you.

Please, if my store still insist i cant use that $10 coupon(of course, i will give up 15% sales off), what should i do? may i ask them to confirm with DM about that?

the $10 coupon u got from survey u will use towards the purchase of your phone and the $20 gift card u will use towards the purchase of accessories ... i dont think they will give u 15% and be able to use the $20 gift card on same transaction but i would just split up the order... 15% of $140 is 21 dollars >>> so the 20 gift card is good to use rather then the 15 discount ... unless u were buying some major accessories there .. but from what i am reading they wont have much on launch day ... i am picking up phone from RS then shooting over to sprint store for the accessories

Thanks for clarifying that for me. so my phone will be just $189 after that $10 coupon. Then either $20 credit or 15% discount for my accessories, is that right?

Either the computer will let them do it , or it wont. There is no overriding these systems without risk of job. If it doesnt let them, I just ask people not to make things difficult. The coupon directly states "Cannot be combined with other discounts/offers" so the possibility is there it wont let you.

Now you can do the 20$ + 15%, that we know 100%. The 10$ is still a unknown, and honestly we wont know till we do the first sale and try it. In the past, I've never seen denials with the 10$ coupon on top of other discounts other than employee discounts. (not suppose to use them anyways)

I just made another call to my local store. here is what he mentioned, I cant use $10 for phone, but can be applied to accessories. therefore, i can have $30 off first, then 15% off after that. Thanks for your information again.

Curious why he said you can't use the $10 on the phone? Nothing in the fine print says that.

 

[eyecon82]

you CAN use the $10 off the phone.....

I wish RS had more consistency....

order from official website, it's 50% on memorial day.

I m pretty sure they said no, cuz, by quote them, it cannot be applied to computer, laptop, even some current phone they sell now.
